UK Plans To Monitor 20,000 Families' Homes Via CCTV

metrix007 points out a story in the Sunday Express with more surveillance-camera madness from the UK, where the government now wants to place 20,000 CCTV cameras to monitor families ("the worst families in England") within their own homes, to make sure that "kids go to bed on time and eat healthy meals and the like. This is going too far, and hopefully will not pass. Where will it end?"

    Some of the best people I've known would be categorised as 'chavs' based on their physical appearance (which is how people are classified as such). Essentially, you and the rest of the chattering classes consider people who dress and speak differently from them as 'scum' and are willing to vote for politicians who want to use the police to lean on them despite them not having committed a crime.

    The poor do more honest work than the rich, and always have done. Those who don't work have almost no chance of getting back into work and the few jobs available to them are so horridly well paid it usually isn't worth giving up 40 hours a week for them (especially if this incurs childcare costs).

    You are an ignorant, suck up, mothers-basement-dwelling retard who is willing to write off mostly decent human beings just so you get the warm fuzzies about being 'better' than someone.
